I am having trouble dictating in Microsoft Word that appears to be similar to the problems I had in Outlook. Occasionally Outlook refuses receive dictation, or it erroneously records corrections.  We decided the answer to that problem was to exit and reenter the program.

My problem with Word is similar, and exiting the file, the program, or even restarting the computer doesn't help. I am having particular difficulties dictating the following phrase (which I have entered into Vocabulary and trained many times): Number 6.  Word will not type it.  Instead I get a box that says "select asterisk asterisk zero six asterisk asterisk."  That box never gets typed either, and the only way to have Number 6 appear onscreen is either to type it manually, or if I'm lucky, to a dictate dd words after Number 6, which it will then type [please note, I didn't dictate "dd" just then--I changed "add" to "dictate," and the computer typed "dictate dd."  It is now refusing to recognize all dictation.]

Please help!  I'm writing a chapter about Number 6, and if dictating the phrase is going to shut down DNS, I'm dead.

Number <1-99> ie Number 6 is a KnowBrainer command which you can optionally turn off or delete but it's usually better to dictate in longer phrases such as “we begin with Number 6”.

If you would like to deactivate the KnowBrainer Number <1-99> command simply remove the checkmark from Active as pictured below. Note that you will have to close and re-launch KnowBrainer before the change can take effect.

Thanks very much -- I would never have thought of that.

Further report: I decided to open the vocabulary and change the pronunciation of Number 6, hoping that would allow for successful dictation. But I am unable to make the change. When I go into "Properties" from the vocabulary editor, I can't click on any of the boxes. I suppose I could delete the phrase, then re-enter and retrain it.

But the first time I tried to do that, DNS froze. I had to quit the program. When I restarted and again attempted to open the vocabulary editor, I got the following message:

Run-time error '_ 2147219930 (80040626)';
COM returned an unexpected error code;
Details are VCMDERR_MENUEXIST

I have also received this message:

 

Speech engine returned the following error: DSXWarning_Utts Purge

Thanks again for your help!
